Capcom announced that Resident Evil Requiem has sold over 5 million copies in under a week, pushing the series past 183 million units overall. Capcom credits the RE Engine’s photorealistic visuals, flexible gameplay (multiple difficulties and real-time first-/third-person switching), and strong pre-release hype and awards for the launch. The rapid milestone contrasts with other titles in the series, as RE4 Remake took months to hit 5 million, while older entries like Village and the 3 Remake took longer to reach that mark.
The Final Puzzle in Resident Evil Requiem is a 20,000 CP challenge whose solution remains unsolved. It centers on seven clues scattered through Rhodes Hill Care Center (Severed Hand, Lead Researcher’s Puzzle Box, Laser Microscope, Hourglass, Grace Ashcroft Blood Analysis Report, Toy Uncle Bobblehead) that must be translated into a Sun/Moon/Star code. Real‑world distances (Sun ~150 million miles, Moon ~380,000 km, 4.2 ly) help map the clues to symbols, with a supposed final input only achievable on a second playthrough via New Game Plus, followed by additional steps after an enigmatic laugh signal. The article compiles these clues to aid the community in cracking the puzzle, which remains unresolved as of now.

Star Trek Voyager: Across the Unknown is a what-if survival-strategy game that tasks you with guiding Voyager home from the Delta Quadrant by balancing resource management (deuterium, dilithium, duranium, tritanium, food), ship deck-building, and crew morale across procedurally generated sectors. Combat is tactical but punishing, success on away missions depends on fixed four-person lineups and skill checks, and exploration is anchored by cinematic cutscenes and voiced logs from Tim Russ and Robert Duncan McNeill. It’s a nostalgic love letter to Voyager for fans, offered at a modest price with demos on all platforms, though casual players may want a simpler mode to enjoy the ‘what-if’ premise.
